The toxic form of methylmercury is of concern in terms of its neurotoxicity, genotoxicity and reproductive toxicity … for research on exposure to lower levels. The harmful effects of methylmercury are a cause for concern irrespective of the … exposure levels. The problem becomes more serious because of biomagnifications of methylmercury. Disorders may develop during …

In dose-response studies, the dose range is often restricted due to concerns over drug toxicity and/or efficacy. We derive optimal designs for estimating the underlying dose-response curve for a restricted or unrestricted dose range with respect to a broad class of optimality criteria. The...

This paper revises the estimation of the dose-response function as in Hirano and Imbens (2004) by proposing a flexible way to estimate the generalized propensity score when the treatment variable is not necessarily normally distributed. We also provide a set of programs that accomplish this task...
